Published by

An Ijebu-Ode Customary Court in Ogun State has dissolved the 13-year-old marriage between one Olanrewaju Olowu and his wife, Oluwatoyin, over battery and negligence of responsibility by both parties.

Olanrewaju, a carpenter, had approached the court on May 18, seeking the dissolution of his marriage to his wife.

The petitioner had accused his wife of neglecting her matrimonial duties and being a trouble maker.

He also stated that his wife was ill-tempered and in the habit of treating his parents and siblings like destitute anytime they were on visit to their home.’’

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) The respondent, Oluwatoyin, however, accused her husband of battery, threat to her life and lack of care for her and their three children.

“My husband’s parents regularly threaten me with fetish substances so as to quit the union with their son, alleging that I married him diabolically.

“I have hardly enjoyed the marriage since we got married, “she said.

Oluwatoyin also pleaded with the court to dissolve the union and grant her custody of their children.

Ruling, the court president, Mr T.O. Ogunlami, said that the marriage which was consummated without payment of dowry had broken down irretrievably.

“Starting from today, you cease to be addressed as husband and wife; you shall go your separate ways and maintain peace.

“In the interim, the children should remain with the respondent until they are old enough.

“A monthly upkeep for the care of the children must be provided for by the petitioner and must not be less than N15, 000 while their training should be both parties’ duties,” Ogunlami said.

Ogunlami further ordered the respondent to move her belongings out of the petitioner’s house within 72 hours and warned   both parties to refrain from harassing each other.
